To the OP: as has been mentioned before, "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder"

Fine if you don't agree with other people's taste and yes, some are rather dubious to say the least but to draw up a set of rules how cars should be painted, etc? That's a bit much... what you see modified in the game by others pretty much mirrors what you see in real life sometimes, the Top Gear website used to have a 'Carbage' section about this.

Sometimes it's quite funny what some people come up with, perhaps you shouldn't take it so seriously!
 
I like exotic and bright colors, like lime green, hugger orange, yellow etc. They call me the "green" harvester.

1. Do not waste matte and chrome on standard cars.

I Painted my Zonda C12S in Matte Gray, and although it's standard, it looks good (will post a photo soon).
You need to realise that everyone has a different point of view, and I think you're complaining about styles that you don't like in this thread.

Weight is mass multiplied by the forces acting on that mass. This is why you can experience weightlessness even when well inside the Earth's gravity well (such as the Vomit Comet) by counteracting those forces - mass stays the same, gravity stays the same but weight changes. Add to the forces and you increase weight.





I'll let you decide :D

You don't actually experience weightlessness on the Vomit Comet, you experience the illusion of weightlessness. You don't float, the plane just falls faster than you do.

You, and the plane have the same weight as when you left the ground (- the planes fuel and your lunch :lol:). Unless you count your weight relative to the plane instead of the Earth.



You're both right as far as the whole "weight" thing goes, but I just wanted to make a point about the Vomit Comet comment.

Which is why I am glad that odds are you are not a graphic designer, painter, or artist of any kind that would leave a mark on my daily life in print or electronic form :drool:
 
The only thing I've got to say about this whole thing is that Chrome and Gold Chrome are waaaaaaay over-played. It's come to the point now that I don't think anything looks good in Chrome or GChrome (as I call it). And some people just have waaay to much of it... I've met someone who claimed to me that all of his cars are in either Chrome or GChrome.

WHY??

Also... Extremely bright colors like GREEN, PINK, LIGHT BLUE... they just don't look good on a Bugatti. I'm sorry, but anyone who sacrifices the awesome two-tone paint job to just simply paint their Veyron lime green should be taken out back and given a stern lecture. This also goes for Enzos, SLS AMGs, McLaren SLRs, McLaren F1s, F40s, Ford GTs, Vettes, and Zondas.

People think using bright, obnoxious, almost-neon colours makes them stand out or seem original. In fact it makes them cliché, which is kind of funny.

If GT5 had a livery editor, you'd be seeing tons of bright pink and lime green racing paint jobs, because people are stupid 👍

Quoted for truth 👍

I mostly agree with the use of extremely bright 'candy' colours on most roadcars being cliche (but every 'counterculture' eventually turns into a cliche as the originality quickly turns into a dogma) although again there are no real "rules" here other than your own since it's a subjective and highly personal thing.
My roadcars are mostly silvery or mid to dark greyish metallic with some exceptions in pearl whites and a few in bright yellow (and a few other colours like dark blue, black, gold, yes gold, etc.), my latest purchase was a Murcielago in a beautiful lurid green called Verde Ithaca which really suits that particular car but I wouldn't use that sort of colour on for example an M5 or Maserati Gran Turismo.
For me racecars are different though, I've spend quite some time finding the right green for my RM Golf and finally decided on a Lime Green coming from a Honda I think, I wouldn't however use that colour on the regular road version of that car.
Still need to find an RM car to use the Matte Pink chip on (thinking about the TVR Tuscan but not sure) as there's nothing wrong about a pink racecar in my opinion (unlike a pink roadcar).

My point is that you can't make general rules for either road or racecars since each specific car has its own character and colour sensitivity or 'rules' of being appropriate or not.
A bright colour like the Ferrari yellow called Giallo Fly looks great on for example a mid-engined Ferrari like the F40 but hideous (to my eyes) on for example a GT like a 599, it is more complicated than simply saying this or that colour doesn't work on Ferrari roadcars, which Ferrari roadcar? What type of Ferrari roadcar? Which period?

Yes, he meant the reference frame of the plane. If the plane were straight and level, it would take a force equal to your weight to push you off the floor.

When the 707 is descending, you would be able to push yourself off the floor with an infinitesimal force since gravity + aircraft acceleration = 0.

Ah man thank you for reminding me that this livery existed! I love that one, and it reminds us that this car is indeed a delicious cut of meat :sly:

JusT beacuse you don't like the way it looks doesn't mean they have bad taste.

You're absolutely right. We're all equal. No one has better taste than anyone else. No one has better or more educated opinions. No one has better training or a better eye for design.

we are. all. equal.


One world.



Together.




Beautiful. Human beings. All colours. No judgement. One planet.



Existing as one. Everyone is equal at everything.



Equals.

I mostly agree with you. Except my Bugatti came in some kind of silver/brown color combo, so I repainted it Blu sera Met. (dark blue) from my 1976? Ferrari. It actually looks quite nice. I'll agree that painting cars like this Gold Chrome or TVR Reflex Puke is just stupid. (although I will admit to almost painting it one of the Maziora whites, I'm a real sucker for subtly shifting whites).

Not sure if it'll be faster then a ZO6 but it's definately worth doing. It's one of the few cars that looks good in Gold Chrome as well, just don't install all the Aero Parts (they are Carbon Fibre and don't look too good)

how much power does it make? thatll decide it..
 
 
All my cars are... WERE painted in black... Too bad my PS3 YLODed on me... Now I´ll have to start GT5 all over and buy alot of black cars to get the paint chips when I get my new PS3 slim...
 
I can't believe this thread is still going. Some people actually think they are the car-fashion police. This is so ridiculous, I figured it would have been closed by now. Those of you who think they can police people's color choices should be called the car Nazis.
